Congress leader Rahul GAndhi on Thursday charged that the BJP always wanted to “tear and throw away” the Constitution, and asserted that the Lok Sabha elections this time is a fight to safeguard it.
At an election meeting in northeast Delhi’s Dilshad Garden in support of party candidate Kanhaiya Kumar, he claimed that the BJP always wanted to change the Constitution.
“These people (BJP) have always wanted to tear and throw it (Constitution) away. They never accepted neither the Indian Constitution nor the Indian flag. In this election finally they have accepted that they want to change it,” he charged.
“In this election, the fight is for safeguarding the Indian Constitution. It is not simply a book, our Constitution carries thousands of years of ideological heritage of Gandhi, Ambedkar and Nehru ji,” the Congress leader said.
The former Congress president said the BJP has finally “accepted” in this election that it wanted to change the Constitution.
